Ever wonder what it would be like to get closer to an NYC fireman than just a hunky wall calendar? On May 2, you’ll have the chance to do just that.

To celebrate their 150th anniversary, the FDNY is throwing a citywide “Open House” where every firehouse in the city (and many EMS stations) will be open to the public during two, two-hour slots.
Those who are interested in touring a station (and finally living out those childhood Ghostbusters memories) can sign up for a slot from 11am-1pm or 1pm-3pm during the event.
“It’s a day we want everybody to see what’s behind the red door,” said Capt Robert Hauryluck of Engine 54/Ladder 4 at Eighth Avenue and 48th Street to the New York Post. “We have an open door policy as it is."
Giveaways during the event will include coloring books for kids, carbon-monoxide alarms, plastic fire helmets and commemorative programs marking the 150th anniversary.
Chances of meeting Mr. January, however, most likely remain low.
